Macbuntu is a script which makes your Ubuntu desktop look like Mac OSX in seconds. The script installs a lot of things: from GTK, icon and cursor themes to backgrounds, fonts, Global Menu, Docky, Ubuntu-Tweak, Cheese, Compiz Extras and will change the look of the Login screen, Metacity, set Compiz effects and modify the top panel completely. We've already posted a complete Macbuntu review so check out that post for further info: Make Ubuntu Look Like Mac OSX In Seconds Using Macbuntu.

Make Ubuntu Look Like Mac OSX In Seconds Using Macbuntu

Ubuntu macosx

Although I am not a fan of copying an entire OS look (even though Ubuntu does some of it by default), I'm sure some of you want to get the entire Mac OSX look in Ubuntu. For that, you can use a script called Macbuntu which is very easy to use and can make your Ubuntu desktop look like Mac OSX in seconds.

Macbuntu is available as a stable version (2.2) for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx but there's also an alpha version (2.3) for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.

If you've used Macbuntu before, you should upgrade (run the upgrade script) as the latest version which was released today comes with new Plymouth themes: Paw-OSX (default), Paw-Ubuntu, you can select the distributor logo instead of Mac OSX, backup before applying the changes as well as bug fixes.
